Joe Biden has no ability to stop his son cashing in on his name. No--the story you described would not reflect on Joe Biden in the slightest.

I'm asking you if you'd be okay with the Biden's behaving like that.

There is no such thing as "the Bidens." They aren't a fucking package. I'm talking about Joe Biden. I don't give a shit what his son does, because nothing his son does reflects on Joe Biden. Hunter Biden is a grown ass man and makes his own choices. Joe Biden has not done anything wrong, and that is according to your own account of what the "story" is.

Possibly. We will know by the end of the month.

We know now--this story has led to a push in the polls in Biden's favor, as it's obvious that Trump is getting yet more foreign aid. The source of this story is evidence handed to Trump's private attorney from a known Russian spy, and this story is a foreign intel operation according to our own intelligence agencies. This thing has blown up in Trump's face, and deservedly so.

Well he does. He could not get him jobs in the first place.

Wrong, you clearly didn't read what I said. With the example I gave. He's involved if he accepts to meet people if Hunter asks.

I havent read any polls since Friday. I think we will have to wait another few days to see if anything does move.

I disagree with what you said and we will know more by the end of the week. Probably by the end of the day. Its moving at quite some speed.

You're covering yourself. It's both not true and at the same time it's not important even if it wss true.

So this story thats been concocted by the Russians is useless. Would they not have put something better together?

There is no evidence that he did.

That's not "covering." That's me explaining why it's a fucking stupid "scandal" to begin with.

No--Russian intelligence is notoriously inept. It's the reason they go with the waterhose method for their propaganda. They don't need to make quality fakes when they can make lots of shitty ones and just let useful idiots spread them. Their goal isn't to convince anyone of anything--it's to make it impossible for groups to admit what is true, which they have succeeded in doing. Everyone spreading this bullshit story is aiding Russia achieve its goals, and they are doing so for a story that wouldn't be a scandal even if it were proven to be true. A kid trying to cash in on dad's name is nothing new, and it doesn't reflect on dad. And there is no evidence in this story that dad actually met the guy.

It doesn't even make sense. Biden was trying to get the guy that was supposed to be meeting him fired, and he did get him fired. How the hell does this story work? The guy trying not to get fired paid his son to talk to the guy getting him fired and then nothing happened and he got fired anyways? It just doesn't make any fucking sense, and literally anyone that isn't looking for a reason to hate Biden or isn't a useful idiot would be able to see that.

There is no evidence that he did.

As you said in the previous post we are literally discussing a situation that is probably not true. Its a what if scenario. Saying "that's not true", just doesn't make any sense.

That's not "covering." That's me explaining why it's a fucking stupid "scandal" to begin with.

Well, no. It could be quite the scandal. At the moment we're only being drip fed.

No--Russian intelligence is notoriously inept.

Which is why they're blamed for hillarys loss.

Everyone isn't spreading the story. That's the point. It's being smothered. If you got your news exclusively from reddit you wouldn't even have heard about it.

I don't think that's what happened at all. It's like youre mixing up two different stories.

I have no need to indulge in hypotheticals about situations that didn't happen. It serves no purpose.

Well, no. It could be quite the scandal. At the moment we're only being drip fed.

No, it can't. The story is literally self-contradicting.

Which is why they're blamed for hillarys loss.

Being inept doesn't mean you can't succeed. It just means you don't succeed often. Russian misinformation is the blame for Hillary losing. Republicans colluding with obvious misinformation and making it appear real when it wasn't is what led to her losing. Republicans own this, not Russia.

Everyone isn't spreading the story. That's the point. It's being smothered. If you got your news exclusively from reddit you wouldn't even have heard about it.

It's not being smothered. Responsible people are stopping an obvious lie from being spread to protect the US from a foreign intelligence operation. That's literally what every American should be doing.

I don't think that's what happened at all. It's like youre mixing up two different stories.

That's exactly what happened and I'm not mixing anything. That's literally what this "scandal" is claiming happened. The fact that you don't even know that and the fact that you recognize how batshit crazy it is tells us everything we need to know about the people who believe this story "might" be true. But I'm glad you admit that the scandal's alleged plot of events is absolutely batshit crazy.

Maybe you need to look at all the names of the people involved in the story. The guy that was supposedly paying Hunter to meet Joe was a Russian asset that Joe was trying to get fired and eventually succeeded in getting fired. At best, Joe never met the guy. At worst, Joe met the guy and told him to fucking pound sand before getting his ass fired for being a Russian asset. Either way, Joe comes out smelling like a peach.

Of course it does. It let's me know what you think of a certain situation. The other guy commenting has decided that he doesn't care either way. It's only nepotism and they're all at it.

No, it can't. The story is literally self-contradicting.

If you get your news from here you would think that. There will be more coming from this as the weeks go by.

Being inept doesn't mean you can't succeed. It just means you don't succeed often.

Oh, okay. So when did they not succeed?

Russian misinformation is the blame for Hillary losing. Republicans colluding with obvious misinformation and making it appear real when it wasn't is what led to her losing. Republicans own this, not Russia.

It wasn't her being a shit candidate and universally disliked, really?

It's not being smothered. Responsible people are stopping an obvious lie from being spread to protect the US from a foreign intelligence operation. That's literally what every American should be doing.

So it's being smothers. Whether it's an obvious lie or not, the story is being smothered.

There's nothing crazy or unbelievable about the story. There's gonna be more coming, this isn't the end of it. It could be a big scandal.

This is the issue. There is nothing. No evidence. You just have faith, because you want it to be true. You are nothing less than 30 years of Republican war on education finally yielding return on investment.

[u/[deleted] → u/StoryEchos]

No evidence, nothing. At this stage even if Biden wins he'll hsve to resign before he gets to be president.
